In August, the Kirillo-Belozersky museum-reserve was given the book titled “Life in Two Centuries” published in Kaunas. It was sent by post by its author – Yuri Vladimirovich Malkov whose father and grandfather were born in Kirillov. The house where the Malkovs lived can be still seen in Kostyunichev Street.
Yuri Malkov was born in Leningrad in 1930. This book contains his recollections, including the ones about the trip to Kirillov together with his father in summer 1936. The story “Painter of Kirillov” tells about the author’s great uncle – Dmitry Vasilievich Malkov whose pictures are presented in the exposition of the Museum of town and district history. Numerous photographs supplement the narration. In the early 2000, Yuri Malkov visited Kirillov and the Kirillo-Belozersky museum-reserve together with his brother Vladimir. He sent the book with the inscription in acknowledgement of preservation of Dmitry Malkov’s works, his graduation certificate from the Imperial Academy of Sciences in 1883 and other archival materials in the museum.
